the flawed rollout of obamacare is no secret. we have all seen what were described as the countless glitches associated with the rollout. but to make matters worse, recent reports indicate that in october, one in four obamacare enrollees faced a glitch not many were aware of. this glitch called an 8-3en 4 error prevented insurers from receiving the properly information who believed they were enrolled in a health care plan. 25% of initial enrollees in obamacare after persevering through errors on a web site that was not ready for prime time may not have proper coverage come january 1 of 2014. what is even more troubling is the fact that the administration estimates that 10% of new enrollees will continue to face this problem. here we are, 23 days before january 1, and those who worked through the headaches of healthcare.gov may or may not have coverage. unfortunately, this administration continues to refuse to seriously address these problems. and even though they have unilaterally delayed several portions of this law from taking
